Troops operating in the North Central and North Western parts of Nigeria have recovered caches of arms and ammunition in those areas, according to a military statement signed by Chris Olukolade, Major General Director of the Defense Information Unit / Coordinator. During a cordon and search operation at Anyibe, in the Logo Local Government Area of Benue State, troops seized a cache of arms run by a young member of an armed gang.
Two Rifles, 3 locally fabricated pistols, and 61 rounds of special ammunition were recovered during the operation. The arrested gang member is currently being questioned and interrogated.
Also in Plateau State, the cordon and search operation in 2 chiefdoms of the state has yielded the recovery of 5 guns, 3 locally fabricated pistols, and 2 revolvers from hideouts of the armed gangs at Hukke, and Reweinko.
Other items recovered during the operation include, some IED making materials, 45 live cartridges, various calibers of ammunition, bows and arrows, and other items potentially used in assault, such as cutlasses, axes and diggers.
In Kaduna State, troops had an encounter with armed gangs and bandits in a firefight at Kwandaga. It was during this exchange of gunfire where casualties were recorded. Troops reportedly had later found ‘lots of arms and ammunition’ recovered.
The operation to rid the North Central, and North West, a part of Nigeria where armed gangs operate openly, and freely, is tagged, ‘Operation Restore Peace.Tthe operation is still in progress in various locations.
Where? On-the-ground troops, and military spokesmen from the Joint Information Center and Counter Terrorism Campaign unit, with inside knowledge of the operation did not disclose to us at this time.
